You guys remember Global Crossing right? The giant telco bankruptcy that happened right around the time Enron was dominating the news?

Global Crossing was the company the British MoD called when it needed a mini-sub, originally designed for NATO military rescue operations, so they could rescue Kursk, a sunken Russian nuclear sub with 118 seamen aboard

Alloy, a voter data juggernaut built with a $35M seed investment led by Hoffman and Todd Park, the CTO of the US under Obama, says it intends to transfer the majority of it's IP to Civitech of Austin, TX

web.archive.org/web/2021012217…
In Dem circles, there was a concern that Alloy, cofounded by Mikey Dickerson and Haley Van Dyck, intended to own and control the party’s voter data. This distrust and suspicion may have been a key factor in Alloy’s decision to cease operations
Alloy’s cofounders, who helped to build the US Digital Service, are both veterans of Obama’s campaign tech team starting back in 2009. They reconnected during the troubled launch of Healthcare .gov, when Dickerson took an unplanned hiatus from Google to help lead the turnaround

In a witness statement read out in court, Wikileaks supporter Cassandra Fairbanks claimed she had been told by Arthur Schwartz, a Republican party supporter close to Trump, about plans for Julian Assange’s arrest months before it happened

web.archive.org/web/2023022312…
30 Oct 2018
Schwartz phoned Fairbanks “Arthur Schwartz was extremely angry,” she said. He told her that people would have been able to overlook her previous support of WikiLeaks, but they would not be so forgiving now that she was “more informed”
“He brought up my 9yo child during these comments, which I perceived as an intimidation tactic,” she said in the witness statement. Schwartz repeatedly told Fairbanks to stop advocating for WikiLeaks and Assange, saying that “a pardon isn’t going to f***ing happen”

What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the CIA? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena, Arkansas

archive.is/7uqst
Clintion was asked about if a base in Mena was "set up by Oliver North and the CIA" in the 1980s and used to "bring in planeload after planeload of cocaine" for sale in the US, with the profits then used to buy weapons for the Contras. Was he told as Arkansas governor?
"No," Clinton replied, "they didn't tell me anything about it." The alleged events "were primarily a matter for federal jurisdiction. The state really had next to nothing to do with it."
